Shropshire Lookup Requests / Ainsworth/Long lost branch
« on: Wednesday 26 November 08 02:14 GMT (UK)  »
I found my great great grandad Henry Ainsworth after much searching .He was a farm bailiff at Shropshire House in Alveley,married to Leah Crowther with 5 kids as at 1871.His youngest son Abraham(my great granddad) was shipped off to Australia in 1883& told not to come back!We dont know what he did but he was educated & has a number of descendants who are curious about where he was from.His brothers were William,Edward& Richard there was also a sister Amelia.His family arent recorded in Alveley in the records after or before 1871,so I assume  they came from elsewhere .I can find Ainsworths but cant get a lead on Henry.Theres a really big clan in northern NSW,they have the family reunion at Kempsy showground !We used to get a lot of enquiries from other Ainsworths who came from Yorkshire & elsewhere but always assumed we werent related because we thought our origins were Shropshire.I am hoping to solve the mystery while my father & his 2 sisters are still alive,they are all in their 80s.Abraham had a barbershop in Narrandera NSW, its still trading in the same premises under the same name with a descendant 121years on.If anybody could help me get sideways to Abrahams siblings line or back beyond Henry dob 1821 I would be very gratefull.
